Work / maternity leave
How long do you guys plan on working?
My due date is estimated for FEB 17th and i originally wanted to start my maternity leave for the end of January to have time to prepare to nest and also just be in a comfortable environment when i possibly go into labor. My biggest fear is going into labor at work….
So my doctor (obgyn) decides to set my maternity leave for FEB 19th… 😳 like wth…. I guess because so far I am having a healthy pregnancy and no complications….
What was your experience?!? Should i take my hospital bag to work in February -each day just in case?? 😭😭😭

Do you guys not set your own maternity date? In England we decide when to start our maternity leave. I took mine at the end of January and didn’t have baby girl until March but also was a high risk pregnancy. I believe if you start Mat leave early it takes off time from the end of your leave
I worked until i gave birth. So i set my maternity leave starting oct 26th since my due date was oct 27th but ended up having my baby oct 24th. And 4 weeks before my due date i packed up my hospital bag and diaper bag. I left it in my car with the car seat just in case
I worked until 5 weeks before my due date, my maternity leave didn't start until my c section date though. Work just let me chill at home for 5 weeks before my maternity leave started 😅
Our Mat leave doesn’t start until you give birth, no matter what. You can take sick leave before hand if needed but I didn’t. Was too much work to figure out.

Want a real bestie
I’ve had a friend since high school who I truly love however sometimes I feel like the relationship is just one sided. She’ll talk and talk for hours and never really hears me out. I just want to make a real connection with another mom where we can both talk bc vent about anything. Hanging out would be a plus 😊😊😊 I’m in Atlanta ga

Need help! what would you do?
So I am possibly ending a long term relationship in the next week or so and have a slight conundrum.
My partners family do secret santa and it has been allocated, so I have his BIL and someone (not my partner) has me.
Would you still buy the gift? Or would you bow out after the break up?
I would want to buy the gift but have no idea what to do. I mean I could always put it to his family to decide too.
What would you do?

What would YOU do?
If your partner crossed a known bkundary, lied to you for months and then lied to your face when you confronted them but they apologised and promised to stop the behaviour and you wanted to believe them, so continued the relationship.
Then you found something related to the boundary and they promised it was old and they weren't doing the behaviour and you belueved them.
Then found something else but wanted to believe it was old too so said nothing.
Then found something you knew meant they where doing the behaviour again.
What would YOU do?
I don't want to hear what I should do. I want to know what YOU would do.
